Searching for the Prototype

Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Hey, Phaethon! It's me!
Icon DMs REPLY
This avatar... Could this be Anton?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Hahaha, that's right! It's me! This is my personal account!
Sorry... Who're you?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Hey, that's cold! I'm Anton from Belobog Heavy Industries! This is my personal account!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I'm contacting you today to tell you our president has finally made up her mind to go look for the prototype. You'll take on the commission, right?
Icon DMs REPLY
Of course.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Hahaha, great! I knew you guys would be down!
That depends on the commission fee!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
The president already has the payment ready. You won't be disappointed.
(All choices lead to the following options)
Icon DMs REPLY
Did Koleda and Grace make up?
Are Koleda and Grace still arguing?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
This time it involves Mr. Khors, so things got real.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
But don't worry! They've been through thick and thin together. They'll definitely manage!
Icon DMs REPLY
What do you think of him, Anton?
What do you think of the previous president, Anton?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Me?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Mr. Khors is my patron, and I don't believe he'd do something like running off with a bunch of money. That's my answer.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
A real bro sometimes has to choose the path of being misunderstood.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Ah, but we've gotten off-track. In any case, we want to talk to you about finding the prototype!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
If it's okay, could you please come and visit us in the morning?
Icon DMs REPLY
Of course!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Oh, thanks!
Looks like another early start for me
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Thanks for the hard work!

Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Wow, what a sweet ride!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I'll show my bro once he's better!
Icon DMs REPLY
What happened to your bro?
Everything okay with your bro?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
My bro's been learning foreign languages from his delivery truck friends
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Day or night, there's always the roar of motor engines
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Before finally, he passed out from working so hard!
Icon DMs REPLY
I think all those noises were because your bro is broken
Your bro is working so hard!!!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I hope he can get some rest...
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I've got lots of mates outside I wanna introduce him to!

Watch Your Step

(Upon completing all commissions for the Event: Watch Your Step)‍[verification needed]
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Proxy! The public commission is nearly done. How are things over there with you?
Icon DMs REPLY
Not bad.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
They've conducted around 2,804 explorations in the Icedrift Hollows... and collected a total of 535,649 data sets.
It's settled.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Why do you have to be so cryptic, we're friends... Fine. I'll respect the cryptic style that you Proxies love
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
By the way! I found a post with a great walkthrough for Proxies. I've shared it with Grace and the others.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
We've had some great results thanks to this walkthrough!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I remember the post was titled... "Paid Content: Zero to Hero! The Ultimate Icedrift Hollows Walkthrough"
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Such an accurate description!
Icon DMs REPLY
I see...
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Of course! You have to believe me!
That one is pretty good
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
A walkthrough so good that it has even earned the recognition of Phaethon?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Speaking of which, the way that post was written... does seem oddly familiar
Icon DMs REPLY
All great Proxies are alike
Walkthroughs can have a discernible style?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Yeah, maybe... Just get the feeling that it's someone I've worked with before
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
That fluid sense of planning, clear-cut decision-making, pin-point positioning... Oh, and the high price-tag
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Doesn't matter. Anyway, things turned out great this time! I hope that Proxy will keep sharing their experience

Greetings

Today's perfect for some...

Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Today's perfect for some outdoor exercises.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Wrong answer, Proxy.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Every day is perfect for some outdoor exercises!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
But today, in particular, is a wonderful day to hang out with friends outside!
Icon DMs REPLY
Shall we go, then?
How about heading out now?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I'm always ready.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Any specific place you want to go, Proxy?

Are you off work now, Anton?

Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Are you off work now, Anton?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I'm having a rare day off today.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Although a day off for me is rare, I don't really feel like taking it.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
But the president said...
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
"If you keep working, An ton, we'll get fined for violating labor laws."
Icon DMs REPLY
Since you're on vacation, you should be out having a blast.
Since you're free, don't waste your time by staying
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
You sure know me well, Proxy!
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
I'm not the type who can stay still at home.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
So, where do you want to go, then?

Yesterday, I was left hanging at 141 for what felt like an eternity.
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Even the Bangboo at the door gave me a look like I were a lost puppy.
Icon DMs REPLY
Sorry, man...
Maybe they thought you were an eyesore to their business?
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
Yeah, maybe... I was just a thorn in the Bangboo's side...
Message Anton Ivanov Icon
But it's not appropriate for you, who missed an appointment, to say that!
